Title: Improvements in Aeronautical Machines
Inventor: BROWN CHARLES ROBERT BARRINGTO
Filed: 1908-05-06
Granted: 1909-02-18
Abstract: 9898. Brown, C. R. B. May 6. Aerial machines without a e r ost a ts; aeroplanes; framework; launching; propelling; steering.-The frame A of an airship with a propeller O and an horizontally - steering rudder R is connected by a joint I, Fig. 3, with ball bearings to an upper rotatable part B carrying two equal and oppositelydisposed aeroplane sets C at the ends of wire ropes or tubular arms D. Revolution of the aeroplanes C about the central axis of the machine for lifting the same is caused by propellers G, driven from an engine L on the part B by oppositely rotated twin shafts E made flexible by universal joints F. The radius of rotation may be caused to increase as the velocity rises in starting. This is effected when ropes are used by means of a spring - controlled drum on which a certain length of rope is wound when the aeroplanes C are not rotating, the rope unwinding as the centrifugal force acts against the spring. When tubular arms D are used they may be made to extend by telescoping against the action of springs. The shafts E are made similarly extensible. Vertical aeroplanes Z may connect the ends of the superposed planes C to increase the outward pull during rotation, and additional supporting-planes P may be carried by the frame A. To obtain an equal lifting effect from each set of planes C in their revolution as they alternately move with or against the direction of travel of the machine, a spring-controlled rudder H is used with each set, and its inclination is varied between determined limits by connexion to the iron core of a solenoid S, in which the current from a battery V on the frame A is varied between a maximum and minimum during each revolution. The wires W carrying the current are connected to brushes Y which move over the contacts of a rheostat. Wheels or skids may be fixed to the revolving aeroplanes to enable them to revolve on the ground when starting. In a modification, revolving portions B, C are mounted on each of the two ends of a trussed framework body. It is stated in the Provisional Specification that each aeroplane set may be mainta ned at or near its proper angle of incidence by means of two fly-wheels mounted to rotate rapidly in opposite directions on an horizontal spindle at or near its centre of gravity.

Granted: 1910-03-24
Abstract: 12,112. Smith, J. P., and Bruce, J. May 22. Catch gear of mine-cage type.-Safety suspending- apparatus for mine cages, lifts, &c. travelling in vertical or inclined shafts, comprises a roller adapted to be thrown into contact with the guides if the cage or vehicle is unsupported, the rotation of the roller winding a band upon itself so as to increase its diameter and arrest the cage gradually. In one form of the mechanism shown in Fig. 1, the frictional rollers 18 and reels 21 for the band are mounted in boxes 14 sliding horizontally in guides 13. Chains 31 connected to the hoisting- gear are passed around sheaves 30, carrying helical threads engaging recesses in the sliding boxes 14. In the event of the hoisting-cable breaking, springs rotate the sheaves 30, and the helical threads push the boxes 14 outwards until the rollers 18 engage the guides 1. The rotation of these rollers unwinds the bands 22 from the reels 21, and affords an increasing resistance to the downward movement of the cage. A ratchet-wheel on the shaft of the sheaves 30 prevents the boxes 14 from moving backwards. In another form of the mechanism, shown in Fig. 7, the shafts 56 of the rollers are mounted eccentrically in barrels 53 connected by links 48 to the draw-bar and controlled by a spring 64. If the cage is unsupported, the barrels 53 are rotated by the spring so as to bring the rollers into engagement with the side faces of the guides, and cause the bands to wind themselves thereon as in the first arrangement.

Abstract: 29,258. Payne, r. Dec. 16. Delivery apparatus; gripper mechanism.- Sheet-delivery apparatus for flat-bed machines, of the kind in which the sheets are transferred from the impression cylinder to a conveying- device moving in an horizontal path which deposits the sheet in the required position, is constructed with endless chains which support platforms upon which the sheets are laid, the sheets being stripped from these platforms by suitable strippers. As shown applied to a machine of the stop-cylinder type, the sheets are taken from an impression cylinder d by grippers j on a rotary arm. The grippers are operated by a roll k<1> connected by links to the grippers, the roll k<1> being acted on by a projection k on the framing f to take the sheets and by a surface l' on a bell-crank lever l, which is operated by a bowl m on one of the delivery chains e to open the grippers for delivery. Two chains e are fitted with three platforms g formed of flexible metal strips so as to follow the path of the chains. The sheets fall from the grippers j on to the platforms g, which may move continuously or intermittently, and are stripped from these by strippers n, which cause the sheets to drop on to a table o. The chains e are preferably guided by angle-irons which form the lower part of the frame f. This frame is pivotally supported at one end, and at the other end is slung from standards h which permit the delivery apparatus to be raised as required. In a continuous-revolution machine, the sheets are directed from the cylinder d by strippers to the platforms g. For interleaving sheets by hand with those delivered automatically, a portion p, Fig. 6, on the main frame is jointed so that it can be turned down to the position shown by dotted lines, and a box of set-off sheets is supported on the part p, and the sheets fed by hand from this on to the sheets received by the table o.
